Hey girl I never said I'd be there every night    When I come home late it's fisticuffs till light    Now you slap me with a summons I must serve    When you caught me with your friend,    you cut me at the nerve       Stop right there, 'cause you were wrong    Do you believe in consequence?    I gave you all I have, and for so long    I believe in consequence       When did I promise that I always be    Wasn't it clear, it clouded up your memory    But still you tell me that it's all that I deserve    When you swung the gavel 'round,    you struck me at the nerve       The straight and narrow is another deadly curve    When you drove your steely knife in,    you struck me at the nerve
